Deck Staining in Brookline, MA
Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.
On Brookline properties
Decks, porches and exterior stairs in Brookline take the full freeze-thaw cycle. A large share of Brookline exteriors are governed by a condo association or trust rather than one owner. Scope has to be documented clearly enough for a board to vote on. Structure gets checked before any finish goes down.
What actually happens on site
Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.
Penetrating semi-transparent or semi-solid stain, not a film-forming finish. Penetrating stain fades and recoats cleanly; film finishes peel and then need stripping before you can do anything at all.
What usually fails
Solid stain on a horizontal deck surface. It looks great for two years and then peels in sheets, and stripping a peeling deck costs more than the original job.
